About

With over 10 years of deep-rooted experience in the automotive industry, I bring a rare, 360-degree perspective to Learning and Development. My career spans the entire dealership ecosystem—having worked with Finance, Sales, Parts, Service, and Accounting (account receivable and payable). This hands-on foundation makes me a well-rounded expert who understands the operational pulse of every department. For the past 5+ years, I have leveraged this expertise to design and deliver engaging, scalable training for SaaS and automotive technology environments. I specialize in translating complex technical concepts into accessible, interactive learning paths that resonate with both internal teams and external partners. Core Competencies: • Full-Cycle Dealership Knowledge: Expert-level understanding of Finance, Sales, Fixed Ops, and Accounting workflows. • Curriculum Development: Designing high-impact training assets rooted in adult learning principles. • SaaS & Tech Integration: Skilled in software configuration training and simplifying complex technical systems. • Strategic Collaboration: Proven ability to partner with SMEs and stakeholders to align learning goals with evolving product offerings. • Performance Driven: Focused on delivering educational experiences that boost user proficiency and support bottom-line business goals. I am passionate about building the bridge between sophisticated technology and the people who use it every day to drive the automotive industry forward.
